Memory Lane Gehrig expectation vs reality

[calvindog]

To my knowledge -- and someone can correct me if I'm wrong -- ML doesn't have a history of doctoring scans. They've had some issues in the past for sure, but doctoring scans is not one of them. I suspect it was just a screwup and I think they'll come through in the end.

Furthermore, I don't see how this is even a close call. When you bid on cards in an auction, the scans are high resolution. Why should you have to ask for more scans unless you see a problem with the card and you want another image? If the card otherwise looks good, there's no reason to ask for any more info.

They have a history now. The fact that it is taking this long to resolve is bad. This is simply an open and shut case.

All the reason I deal with only 1 auction house. REA.

Gave up on most of the big ones years ago after seeing rampant issues.

It is disgusting what some of the big one's do.

HA stands for just that. Ha! Ha!

I also know that HA had nothing to do with this thread but HA stands for Ha! Ha! All day.

No, they don't. I don't understand how this turned into a discussion about them doctoring scans or photoshopping images or anything like that. There is no reason to come to that conclusion. They're scanning cards and failing to disclose creases that don't show up in the scans. They're not doctoring images.

Ya, we'll see how it goes. I sent it back to them.

Good luck on a quick resolution, I can't imagine ML would die on this hill.

It’s amazing how quickly people jump to conclusions and make assumptions let’s see what they say and do in your situation before any conclusions and definitive statements are made it’s all good I guess people have their opinions but geez seems like the benefit of the doubt is something that’s left in 2024 in this industry idk 🤷*♂️

Agree! But comparing the card in the auction and the one received, it's obvious. So I guess the best I can say at this time, until we see how this is plays out, is everyone just needs to do a better job with attention to detail (pictures and descriptions) when posting. I'm hoping this turns out well.

Concur. It sucks for snowman right now, but I think memory lane will make this right. They know a lot of big-time players who bid in their auction and give them stuff are part of this board or read this board.

My contention would be that no AH should present an image of an item that has little semblance to what the card actually looks like. That is deceiving, intentional or not. Yeah it’s easy to fix the “ problem” after a complaint, but just a little quality control should prevent it in the first place.

How do you explain these images? Every scan I take shows everything. How is their scanner filtering that out ya think?..."Contrast"
